Preview of 4th European Quality Assurance Forum: Can QA processes stimulate creative and innovative learning? (19-21 November)
Over the years, there have been criticisms that quality assurance processes used in higher education, often managed at the national level, can actually hinder moves towards more innovative and creative teaching.
This is why more than 500 higher education stakeholders working in quality assurance, including higher education institutions, students, quality assurance agencies, governments and intergovernmental organisations as well as researchers in higher education, will gather this week (19-21 November) at Copenhagen Business School in Denmark for a major conference on the theme: ‘Creativity and Diversity: Challenges for quality assurance beyond 2010’.
The main goal of the Fourth European Quality Assurance Forum is to examine how quality assurance approaches take account of institutional diversity and support creativity and innovative practices in higher education. The event will be opened by Johan Roos, President, Copenhagen Business School.
Through a series of plenary and working group sessions, it will provide a platform for discussion and exchange of experiences and best practice among the main stakeholders in quality assurance. During the event, a wide range of case studies – both from universities and quality assurance agencies – will be presented (from countries including Scotland, Finland, Ireland, Portugal, Australia, Belgium and Croatia).
The event is co-organised by ENQA, ESU, EUA, and EURASHE, and is supported by the Lifelong Learning Programme of the European Commission. For more information visit the conference website.
